Great Moments in Marketing
Your Company Can Cash in on 9/11
I knew it was a mistake to order that "Asian inspired accent table" from Bombay. While I certainly expected to show up on God-only-knows-what mail lists under the heading of 'sucker', I didn't think my marketing profile would fall to the level of this solicitation.
Yesterday this little flyer found its way into my mailbox. I'm not kidding you. I guess the good news is that if you act now, your company logo can appear on the front of this "tasteful" remembrance of 9/11.
It reads:
In dedication and honor to those who are missing, hurt, to the families of deceased, to the heroic fire fighters, law enforcement, emergency services, military personnel, and volunteers whose lives have been affected by this tragic event...We will NEVER forget.
The perfect shirt for Patriot's Day (9/11/05), although I'm holding out for the matching fanny pack.
